章 27: [26]BACK HOME
Back Home.
Joe's P*O*V
"You've been down since morning, what's eating that your beautiful mind," I ask my wife, who has been sitting here all day...going through our family pictures. Both the ones we hid from Tracy. It pains me that I've been standing here since what seems like an hour but she never noticed I was there.
"Hey, I'm... Forget. No..thing" she mumbled over her words. What's happening to my wife?.
"It's okay honey, Everything's gonna be OK. Please come downstairs, I made something for you to eat and cool your mind.
" I'm fine, plea...I quickly wrap my hands around her waist and carried her downstairs before she could protest.
"Here let me help you," I say cutting the meatloaf into smaller sizes. I just want to make feel good and I love her.
"I can't recall teaching you how to make meatloaf" She smiled her beautiful smile that always melts my heart. "It's delicious, I'm giving you five stars."
"Well, I'm an expert... Was it not on our honeymoon first night, after our passionate sex... You couldn't even walk. So I had to make something fast for you" I laugh as the memories flow in through the air.
" YOU were sex craze! In a sweet way... She laughs.
"And you were my perfect match and my soul" her laughs fades and pink blush covers her face as a teen." My love can tell what's eating you up"
"Tracy..."She mutters
I know where this conversation is leading us...To the conversation we last had thirteen years ago. The night Tracy thought I picked her up from the roadside. The night we stopped telling her that we are her real family.
"Will she ever remember?... Us, together... Not as adopted?" She cries, carrying the plates to the kitchen while I followed her.
"The doctor said...
"Doctor? Oh my goodness. Yeah, the doctor said..." She sobs. "When will this prophecy of a thing be over. When will I have my baby back?
" Its ok love, just don't let it tear you down. We are all in this together.." I say trying to console her.
"I can't take this, it kills me so much, To be living with my daughter all these years and she..." She laughs amidst tears..".. On the day I put to bed. There was this Thunderstorm. A weird huge man appeared and the time I got there to know why my baby isn't crying anymore. He was gone and I only saw his shadow". She inhales deeply and continues
"isn't it this same doctor that said that the man was a king to khan kingdom but he wouldn't go into details... He only told me my daughter has a mission into this world...and when the time comes, we shall know. What the hell is that!" She yells pacing furiously. "I've Googled about this so kingdom over and over but....the result says It was all a folktale... It never existed.
"Hey... It's okay... It's okay" I say holding her tight. I feel bad for not being around when this happened... I feel for not being there when she needed me. Although she never complained I've minimized how much time spend on work. I try so hard to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill out." We have to be strong for her...and she's Been doing well in school. We just need to be strong okay.
"Ok?.
"Yeah.." she stands tiptoes and kisses me. "I'm so glad I got to pour all this off my chest. I feel so good and you were really a good listener." She smiled and rested her head on my chest.
" I love you... I kiss her back.
"I love you too... And thanks for the meal. It really helped ``she whispers and I wrap my hands around her and carried her upstairs. I really know how to make her open up to me... She is such a darling.
